You have to be kidding. Tell me you are not serious. That verse has nothing to do with praying to Mary.

I'm perfectly serious. I gave you no interpretations; I gave you an observation that you can not deny.

As to how that observation applies to your question of prayers to Mary has yet to be discussed. But make no mistake, the verse does establish God changed the divine plan at her request.

I repeat, you cannot really be serious when you say this justifies anything we have been talking about!
